-**Sync/Async** - Sync means that data are immediately flushed to disk, whereas Async (rarely used) takes a asynchronous approach.+**Sync/Async** - when set to Sync (Synchronous), the FreshTomato will only acknowledge data after it's been written out. The Async(hronous) setting configures for the opposite behaviour. The NFS server will acknowledge data before it's committed to disk, which can lead to data corruption if the server crashes.
